Mens Vogue: can beta blockers cure your yips?
Mens Vogue has an interesting article exploring whether beta blockers can calm tension on the golf course.
Nothing scientific, but here's what the author John Cassidy concludes: "Were the beta blockers responsible for my improved shot selection and my dramatic mid-round recovery? Was it a placebo effect? Dumb luck? I have no idea. But the next time my regular four-ball partners start kicking my tail in our weekly three-dollar Nassau, I'm going to try and get hold of some more propranolol. Sure, it might be medically irresponsible and morally questionable, but the ban on beta blockers applies only to the PGA Tour, and I need all the help I can get."

I cant believe someone would use betablockers for the sole purpose of improving their golf game? Surely these medicines have other adverse effects on other parts of the body, or would be less useful if used by someone that didnt need them yet but might in the future (for a ligitimate problem)?
A little tipple on every hole over 95 yards usually works for most the guys I play with ;).
